-Version 0.7.1 is the first release containing our new cross-platform Java-based user interface. AltosUI can: -

- Receive and log telemetry from a connected TeleDongle - device. All data received is saved to log files named with the - current date and the connected rocket serial and flight - numbers. There is no mode in which telemetry data will not be - saved. -
- Download logged data from TeleMetrum devices, either through a - direct USB connection or over the air through a TeleDongle - device. -
- Configure a TeleMetrum device, setting the radio channel, - callsign, apogee delay and main deploy height. This can be done - through either a USB connection or over a radio link via a - TeleDongle device. -
- Replay a flight in real-time. This takes a saved telemetry log - or eeprom download and replays it through the user interface so - you can relive your favorite rocket flights. -
- Reprogram Altus Metrum devices. Using an Altus Metrum device - connected via USB, another Altus Metrum device can be - reprogrammed using the supplied programming cable between the - two devices. -
- Export Flight data to a comma-separated-values file. This takes - either telemetry or on-board flight data and generates data - suitable for use in external applications. All data is exported - using standard units so that no device-specific knowledge is - needed to handle the data. -
- Speak to you during the flight. Instead of spending the flight - hunched over your laptop looking at the screen, enjoy the view - while the computer tells you what’s going on up there. During - ascent, you hear the current flight state and altitude - information. During descent, you get azimuth, elevation and - range information to try and help you find your rocket in the - air. Once on the ground, the direction and distance are - reported. -
